That happened a couple of years ago at the P-Ville Red's.


Pretty sad - Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Wish more people would talk it out with sympathetic ears.

So I guess if you don't have a gun, you go to a gun range to rent one? I had never thought about that :P.

Many commercial gun ranges rent a wide variety of guns (mostly handguns) onsite which provides a valuable service for those who are firearm shopping. It gives them a chance to evaluate what type they like to shoot and suits them best. Big box stores & gunshops don't do that for the most part. And they charge a lot for the ammo, so it's a good moneymaker.

Committing suicide at a gun range is not uncommon. People who don't own guns can go rent them. If this is what happened, it is so sad. One of my nephews committed suicide years ago. We still grieve.

Suicide is a very effective means of passing your suffering off onto your friends and family to carry for the rest of their lives.

Suicide is about the most selfish thing a person could ever do.
